Experienced design and construction professional in the Residential and Commercial construction industries. Through my years in the industry, I've had the pleasure to work with various clients, construction methods, and typologies. My architectural and design experience is based in residential, light commercial, and retail construction in new builds, tenant interiors, and remodel projects. I'm a cool customer during the progress of a project, rarely letting the stress impede on the job at hand.
When I'm not in the office, I enjoy my time with my wife and two young daughters. I've also enjoy getting lost in cooking and baking for my family. I make a very convincing Hostess style Cupcake, curlicues and all.
